Support Services for Students and Families

At Suffern Central School District, the future of our Pupil Personnel Services Department is rooted in our unwavering commitment to inclusivity and excellence. Our vision is to create and expand programs that celebrate every student's unique needs and abilities, particularly those with disabilities, ensuring that they receive the support they need to thrive within our district. By focusing on the following key areas, we will work towards keeping more students in the district and providing them with the highest quality education and support services:

  • Enhancing Special Education Services: Building on our extensive background in special education, we are dedicated to enhancing our services, ensuring full compliance with all regulations, and striving to exceed expectations in meeting the diverse needs of our students. Our goal is to create a robust and inclusive environment where every student can reach their full potential.

  • Fostering Community Partnerships: Strengthening our relationships with community organizations is essential to expanding the resources and opportunities available to our students. By working collaboratively with local partners, we can provide a richer, more supportive experience for our students and their families.

  • Promoting Professional Development: Our staff's continuous growth and learning are vital to our success. We are committed to supporting our educators and staff through ongoing professional development, fostering an environment of continuous improvement, and ensuring they have the tools and knowledge to best support our students.

  • Advocating for Students and Families: Ensuring that every student's voice is heard and that families are actively engaged in their child's education is a cornerstone of our approach. We will prioritize open communication, advocacy, and partnership with families to create a supportive and inclusive educational experience for all.

Commitment to the Suffern Central School Community

We believe in the power of collaboration and the importance of working together to achieve our shared goals. As we move forward, we are eager to listen, learn, and contribute to the successes of our students, staff, and the entire Suffern Central community. Together, we will continue to build an inclusive, supportive, and thriving educational environment where every student can succeed.
